To determine if 4037 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4037.
If the factors of 4037 are only 4037 and 1, then we know that 4037 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4037 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4037 is only divisible by 1 and 4037, then it is a prime number, and if 4037 is divisible by more than 4037 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4037 are as follows:
1, 11, 367, 4037
Therefore, since 4037 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4037 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
